I am thinking about what I need to maintain my lawn tractor battery over the winter. I know I could just charge it every month or two but I am more interested in something I can hook on and forget. I know you can get float chargers but they seem to be a one size fits all and the little battery is much smaller capacity so a float charger could well over charge it. And I want to tinker with this.
Would it be better to keep the battery at a fixed voltage or to let voltage drop off a bit then top off the charge.
How do you feel about using pulses? There are mixed messages on this. My thinking is that as long as it does not harm the battery why not use it to help prevent sulphation.
We also have a towncar that is only used on out of town trips so it would benefit from a similar setup.
